Weight Loss Over 40 Plus

Thursday, February 7, 2008

This will be a daily account of my weight loss progress, I hope it helps some of you with your weight loss.

Through my medical plan they offer a health service program most of them free.

Stop smoking

diabetes management.

chronic pain management

Vegetarian classes

Positive Choice (weight for life, slim track, and optifast)

Bariatric Surgery (stomach bypast) free

weight management classes.

I have done the chronic pain management classes for a bad knee and hip. The vegetarian to change my eating habits. I am now 1/4 of the way through Bariatic Surgery ( 24 weeks of classes) and just start the Postive Choice class using optifast (26 weeks of classes).

In the beginning of the Bariatic Surgery classes I weight 340 lbs. Starting the Postive Choice class I weight 333. The 12 pounds was loss by keeping a food journal and a little exercise (going from 20min-45mins every other day on a spin bike). With the optifast added I expect to lose on average 10 pounds a week.

I have been using a multi nutritional pack called True Essentials for men, it has a packet for women too. The supplement has giving me a healthier and energy fill life. Before taking them I felt tired and sick all the time. One of the side affects for me as a man is the Virility Essential component of the packet. Sorry not to offend anyone but the sexual release feel is like when I was 17. I am 59 today.
